Aiming at the low confidence of traditional spoken English automatic evaluation methods, this study designs an automatic evaluation method of spoken English based on multimodal discourse analysis theory. This evaluation method uses sound sensors to collect spoken English pronunciation signals, decomposes the spoken English speech signals by multilayer wavelet feature scale transform, and carries out adaptive filter detection and spectrum analysis on spoken English speech signals according to the results of feature decomposition. Based on multimodal discourse analysis theory, this evaluation method can extract the automatic evaluation features of spoken English and automatically recognize the speech quality according to the results. The experimental results show that, compared with the control group, the designed evaluation method has obvious advantages in confidence evaluation and can solve the problem of low confidence of traditional oral automatic evaluation methods.

“…Consistent with Kozma, Mielke (1968) stated that irrespective of the type of media used in different studies, the results lead to "no significant difference." Clark (1983)-inconsistent with recent research (Khoshnevisan, 2020a)-reported that the results of the use of technology, regardless of the type of technology harnessed, on cognitive attainment is almost always the same. He reiterated that there were multitudinous confounding variables in the technology-related studies that the results lack sufficient convincing evidence to confirm or disconfirm the findings.…”

The traditional landscape of education has been widely inundated with an array of technologies and technological tools in recent decades. Technology, if effectively integrated, offers promises to unleash the learners’ full potentials. Multiple researchers have explored the perceptions of language educators and learners alike (e.g., Cheng & Tsai, 2014; Cheng & Tsai, 2016; Author, 2019a). Other researchers have investigated the role of technology on the cognitive achievement of language learners in different language skills. Author (2019a) reiterates that the common thread amongst tools harnessed in technology-enhanced language education is that technology, by and large, enhances comprehension, increases cognitive attainment and motivation level of learners. Research findings imply that technologies exploited in language learning not only motivate learners but also serve as a catalyst in the language learning process (Singhal, Bagga, Goyal, & Saxena, 2012; Ibáñez, Di Serio, Villarán, & Kloos, 2014). Beginning with a chronological review of the advent of technology in the realm of language education, this article will present contradictory, yet scholarly, opinions of researchers documented and corroborated with empirical research concerning the use of technology in language education. To achieve that, the author will embark on detailing how technology affords language teachers. The backbone of the article is an evidence-based discussion regarding the motivational factors ensued by technologies. Having scrutinized the role of technology in language education, the author will delineate technologies recently employed to increase the motivation level of students. This article will also discuss the constraints of technology and shed light on potential challenges that both language educators and learners may encounter including educators’ lack of knowledge about technology and limitations of technologies.

“…The conceptual use of idioms [13][14][15] is actually an advanced form of connotative meaning that has long been in society at first had a bound meaning. However, the process of using the idiom that has been around for a long time in society is finally considered a word or phrase that has a free meaning.…”

This study focuses on analyzing the forms of idioms used by Manado Malay speakers and their meaning based on a semantic review. The method used in this research is qualitative method. The location of this research is the city of Manado. Data collection techniques used in the study, namely observation and interviews. The main instrument (key instrument) in this study is the researcher himself. The data sources in this study are Manado Malay speakers who carry out interactions in various places. In addition, to dig up more data, the researcher also used 3 informants who were very good at using the Manado Malay language. Data analysis techniques included: data reduction, data presentation, verification, and conclusions.
